Abstract
In a matter of months, COVID-19 has spread worldwide, and it has affected not only human lives but also the socioeconomic structure. Disease severity increases with the presence of other factors such as age, diabetes, and hypertension. Exercise has been shown to control blood pressure and blood sugar level; it enhances the immune system and age-related physiological changes. Given its ability to control all of these factors, exercise can be used as a protective agent against disease severity in COVID-19 and as treatment during subsequent rehabilitation.
